Note: This finding aid replicates and replaces information
previously available only in a card catalog. Please see the explanatory note at the
end of this finding aid for information regarding the arrangement of the manuscripts
as well as the abbreviations commonly used in descriptions.

Prior to 1990 when archival cataloging procedures were adopted at the Ransom Center,
all manuscript collections were described in a card catalog.

Organization of Collections:

Manuscripts for each author collection were organized into four categories: Works: manuscripts by the author, arranged
alphabetically by title;Letters: the author's outgoing correspondence,
arranged alphabetically by recipient name;Recipient: the author's incoming
correspondence, arranged alphabetically by the author of the letter; andMiscellaneous: all other manuscripts and
correspondence, arranged alphabetically by creator.

Materials that did not fit into these categories, such as art, photographs, books,
and near-print materials such as newspaper clippings, were dispersed to other Ransom
Center collections for cataloging and storage.
